Re: Cool!
They shipped it in "default open" configuration so that YOU can access it. Because if they shipped it in "default secure" configuration you wont be ale to access it. Most "Joe Clueless" are clueless that you need to authenticate to access it.  |

That's what: A) the big green (or whatever color) three-step sticker on the top is for; and/or, B) what the 5 page instruction booklet is for. I still say that, if people can't handle A or B, they shouldn't be allowed on the Internet in the first damn place.

| Maybe if you would let people use the internet to look up the instructions on how to hook up the TV, they would not be forcing you to do all the wiring for them. Not sure what the page 5 reference was to. One could probably find some reading courses on that precious internet of yours...... |

Wow...
•"hook up the TV" when the discussion concerned a WAP?
•"forcing you to do all the wiring for them"??? What the hell are you smoking?
•"page 5 reference" when what was said was "5 page instruction booklet".
Good reading comprehension skills there...
Besides, if someone can't read a small, simple instruction booklet that comes with a device (hence the reference to "5 page instruction booklet"), what makes you think that they would bother or be able to read something they found online? Given the number of questions I see in the tech forums that could have been answered by a very rudimentary search of Google (or other good search engine), it's rather evident that a lot of people can't or won't use search tools as a resource.
